Why Is NASA’s Psyche Thrusting Almost Nonstop With the Force of an AA Battery?

Cover Image: NASA’s Psyche approaching metal rich asteroid, Artist’s Impression. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Since September 28, 2026, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft has been firing its thrusters almost without pause. It is a quiet change in the mission’s routine, but it explains a lot about how deep space travel works, and it hides a small engineering surprise. Key
